Wild on 7th

The Minnesota Vikings are 4-0, the Minnesota Gophers just beat Michigan to bring home the jug, and Ryan Carter and John King are back in the TRIA studio to talk about the buzz surrounding the undefeated Minnesota Wild (2-0). The guys share some hot takes on the sports landscape around town, as Carts shares his thoughts on coaches crowd surfing, while King is hanging ten on the records and highlights from games all over town. With plenty to rant about, the guys are joined by Wild new-comer Blake Coleman, for stories about his Texas hockey upbringing, the journey that landed him a couple Stanley Cups, and what his plans are in the State of Hockey. This is Wild on 7th, Episode 155.

Wild on 7th is back baby!  First episode of the 26-27 season, and it's clear, based on the run time of this episode clocking in over 2 hours, that the talent has alot to say.  Joe O'Donnell joins us to kick off the new season and the guys dive right in and come out swinging with their bold predictions on the year.  Kinger does a victory lap, but what do Joe and Cart's have to say about this?  Buckle up for a doozy, and stick around for a summer recap from the Wall of St.Paul, Mr. Jesper Wallstedt.  

Wild on 7th puts a bow on the 4th season of the podcast, with none other than our favorite guest and friend of the show, Wild GM Bill Guerin. Ryan Carter, John King, and Joe O'Donnell sit down with Bill to discuss the regular season successes, the Stanley Cup Playoffs, the disappointments, the opportunities, and most importantly Bill's preferred method of "grilling." It has been an exciting season, with many steps in the right direction, and we truly appreciate all the listeners and followers as we navigate this journey alongside all of you. We are already looking forward to next season, so stay tuned to social channels throughout the off season for up dates on upcoming shows and events, and certainly some looks back at some of the best segments from this season. We're here...'til it's here!

The Minnesota Wild's Stanley Cup Playoff run has ended in disappointing fashion. After an unbelievable start to game 5, the Colorado Avalanche simply were the better team, and took nearly every opportunity they saw to expose the Minnesota Wild's mistakes. With that said, the Minnesota Wild had a goal disallowed, they hit the cross bar, and there were times that the small things just set them back enough for Colorado to creep in and steal it at the end. This one in going to sting for the Minnesota fanbase, but there were also alot of positives that came out of the series, and the season as a whole. Ryan Carter kicks off the show joined by Kevin Gorg, and is later joined by John King and Joe O'Donnell for a full recap of game 5 in Denver. Give it a listen, and never forget the feeling of the game 3 victory, and ultimately the game 4 and game 5 losses. This is a team right on the doorstep of greatness, but they'll have to wait until next season to show us what they learned.

Game 4 at Grand Casino Arena between the Minnesota Wild and the Colorado Avalanche had a different vibe than game 3 in Saint Paul, and the result was indicative of that. Ryan Carter and John King break down the Minnesota Wild loss on Monday night, but this is a best of 7 series, and it's not over. Wild head to Denver today for a Wednesday night matchup and a do or die game. Joe O'Donnell joins the pod and is already planning for the radio broadcast back home in Saint Paul on Friday night! The guys in the room are going to have to dig deep, but this is squad that is fully capable of doing so. Even after a tough loss in game 4, this still feels different, and the panel today will help get your mind set for Wednesdays game. Get outside and take a few deep breaths, because the Minnesota Wild are in the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, and there is ALOT of determination to make sure there is ALOT of hockey left to be played! Go take the game in Denver!
